Hi Arlindo<br>
<br>
The main version of Grads we have here is 2.0.a3.oga.1<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>On Windows? This must be cygwin based as well.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
We also have access to the Cygwin version of Grads 2.0.a5.oga.4 - some of<br>
our scripts are using this version now. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>I recommend updating to the latest v2.0.a5.oga.5 superpack. It has important bug fixes. If you intend to use use pygrads you must upgrade to v2.0.a5.oga.5.</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">It was from this version that I<br>
took the latest version of wgrib2. The g2ctl I used is an .exe file -so<br>
perl not needed?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Do not use g2ctl.pl with GrADS v2.0. </span>This script is on needed for reading Grib-2 files through the g2 extension with the old GrADS v1.x series. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">GrADS v2.0 supports GRIB-2 natively</span>. All you need is to run grib2ctl to create your ctl. Take a look at the User's Guide:</div>

Okay, trying with a g2ctl.pl and a perl v 5.6.0 for MSWin - from 2002 by<br>
the looks - getting some error message: can't locate POSIX.pm in @INC (@INC<br>
contains: .) BEGIN Failed - compliation aborted at line 36... I'll have a<br>
play with the perl options here - Not sure about how to get a different<br>
(Cygwin?) version.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You have v2.0, do not use g2ctl. This script was included by mistake.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
BTW I love what you're doing with the other extensions stuff with Grads - I<br>
run OpenSuse at home and am trying to pluck up courage and get into the<br>
PyGrads or Perl interface...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>While the perl interface is still being maintained for bug fixes and the like, the python interface is the one receiving more attention and updates these days. The main reason is that you have a much larger collection of scientifc software for python than for perl.</div>
